Hello everyone.

The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.

There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.

The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.

For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.

If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.

And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Can I update my position based on known CAD model?

I am developing a HoloLens app for a large space (>50m). I have a CAD model of this large space. Can I somehow reference the CAD model to "correct" any positional inaccuracies?

For example, I'm thinking of some combination of Vuforia image targets and spatial anchors.

Say I want to render a hologram at position A in my CAD space. How do I map that to the real world? But now also assume that I have a number of image targets in the real world and I know their positions in my CAD space. I might detect an image target at position B' in the HoloLens space, when its CAD position is B. Is there any way that I can use the difference between B' and B to more accurately render my hologram's position?

I know that I can set a spatial anchor at the location of an image target, but can I somehow tell the HoloLens that this is really position B, not B'?

...I hope my question is clear enough...
